Summary: Higurashi Kagome was through with High School, and with the well closed, she had gotten used to the idea of having to live a normal life. After becoming the priestess of her family shrine, much to the approval of her grandfather, she was sure that her life of adventure is over. She never knew that the gods had another journey already for her, and how this time she would gain not only excitement and wonder, but love as well. One day Kagome is handed a book while inside the library by two girls called The Universe of the Four Gods, and she finds herself whisked into the world of this book. Becoming the priestess of the god Suzaku, and she is charged with the duty of finding all seven of her Celestial Warriors. With this new adventure ahead of her, will she finally get what she always desired since her trips to the Feudal Era?
A/N: Yep, this is starting sometime after the InuYasha manga with some changes to its ending. Instead of staying in the past with InuYasha, they both decided that it wouldn't work out in a romantic sense between. This they realized especially with that whole drama with Kikyo during their journey to destroy Naraku. After she finished High School, she decided to become the shrine's priestess instead of going to college. She is still in contact with Sesshoumaru who has made it to the present time as well as Shippo, but they are busy with their lives in the present time. I think that I am still going to have Miaka and Yui be in here, but Miaka isn't going to be the priestess of Suzaku. Well I hope that will help you understand some things, and I hope that you all will enjoy this story.
Book I: Priestess
Chapter One: The Young Woman From Legends, Part 1
This was a regular sight that greeted Higurashi Souta as he came up the stairs leading up to his home. Unfortunately for his friends, he knew that the sight would mesmerize them and it would be ingrained into their minds. Standing there seemingly oblivious to the world was Souta's older sister, Higurashi Kagome, adorned in the red and white priestess garb. A gentle breeze past through causing the white sakura blossom petals from the Goshinboku to swirl around her frame. Glancing over at his friends, he wasn't surprised to see their gawking expressions and couldn't blame them.
His sister was a very beautiful woman, and the serene scenery around her only seemed to amplify her beauty. Long knee-length raven tresses that were held back in a low ponytail by a white tie and it seemed to dance along with the wind. Gently she brought a hand up to her face, and brushed the loose strands from her face. Souta grinned widely and hurried over towards her. "Nee-chan!" At the sound of his voice, Kagome opened her eyes revealing a stunning pair of azure blue orbs.
Seeing her younger brother and his friends, she allowed a warm smile to form on her beautiful face. "Welcome home Souta, mom is inside and has already set up things for your study group." Mentally snickering at his friend's expressions, the youngest Higurashi waved and his grin widened. "Well see you later Nee-chan!" Raising a hand, she waved back at her brother and gave each of his friends a glance. After they walked into the house, Kagome finished her sweeping and stretched her arms above her head.
'Okay, now that Souta is here I can go by the library.'
Walking over towards the well shed, she placed the broom inside leaning on the door. Slipping her hand into her pockets, she was relieved to find she had her cell phone and wallet. It would save her the trip upstairs to her room! Going towards the stairs, a sudden gust of wind went through the shrine almost taking the tie in her hair with it. Looking towards the sky, a small frown found its way to her face. 'That was very strange…is it a sign?'
Coming out of her deep train of thought, she shook her head. If it was a bad omen than something worse would have happened, but she couldn't ignore the feeling that something was going to happen. Deciding to just be cautious she made her way down the stairs, and then walked down the streets. There was something that she wanted to pick up from the library, which would help her with her online college courses. Even though she had given up leaving the shrine to go live on a campus, she was still going to finish her education.
Unknown to her the gods were making plans of their own, which would affect her destiny in the new adventure about to unfold in front of her.
Walking through the aisles of the library, she ignored the looks that she had gotten from the other people. It wasn't hard to guess the reason why, after all she was still in her miko garb. Grabbing a book from off of the shelf, she looked at the title in curiosity. "Youkais and other Mythical Beasts of our past?" Looking at the cover, she couldn't help but be amazed by how accurate the drawings were. Deciding that this would be a wonderful choice, she made her way over to the tables.
"LOOK YUI! A REAL LIFE MIKO!"
Snapping her head in the direction of the shouting, her wide eyes landed on a brown-haired girl with buns on the sides of her head that was pointing straight at her. Awe was visible in her chocolate brown eyes, and a large smile was on her face. From her aura Kagome could tell that she was a very kind-hearted person, but seemed childish. This was expected at her age, she after all could say that she too was childish when she was fifteen. "Miaka, it's rude to point."
Glancing at the other girl, Kagome could tell that though this girl was more mature than her friend. She too was still a child despite her established persona. A small smile appeared on her face as she allowed herself to reminisce. It had been 4 years since she ended her travels in the Feudal Era, and now at the age of 19, she could look back on those days with nostalgia. Moving over towards the two girls, she smiled. The blonde haired girl with ocean blue eyes got up and bowed towards her respectfully.
"I'm sorry Miko-sama… my friend doesn't know what she is doing most of the time." Ignoring the enraged noise coming from her friend, the mature girl continued to bow.
After finishing her glaring at the blonde, the other girl was only staring at her in amazement, and the miko couldn't help but feel fondness for the both of them. Both of them were obviously best friends despite them being polar opposites. Waving off the blonde's formal attitude, Kagome couldn't help but gaze down at them warmly. "It's alright, I don't mind really…though you should watch out for the older crowd." Seeing their confused expressions, she gestured over toward a few elder people in the library looking at the two Junior-High School girls in disdain.
The blonde girl smacked her forehead, while the brown-haired one asked a loud as to why they were staring at them like that. Laughing gently, Kagome brought a hand to her mouth and didn't notice that slight daze the two girls were in. 'She is pretty!' All that watched the priestess had similar thoughts and reactions; there was just something about her that made everyone relax. "Well instead of addressing me as Miko-sama, my name is Higurashi Kagome, but you can just call me Kagome…I'm not really one for all the formality." Smiling back at her, the shortest girl decided to introduce herself in turn.
"My name is Yuuki Miaka! I'm 15 years old, and I am studying to get into Jonan High School!"
Kagome's blue eyes widened at this declaration, she after all went to Jonan and knew it was no walk in the park to get into. The other girl smiled at her as well, "My name is Hongo Yui, and I'm also planning on going to Jonan High School." Sitting down at one of the tables, Kagome continued to listen to the two girls discuss how much they had studied. 'Or how little she had studied in Yui-chan's case.' Pointing to herself, Kagome smiled. "Well I wish you luck, I had to study my butt off when I was studying for the entrance exam but when I got the acceptance letter it was worth it." At her words, the two girls gaped at her.
"YOU WENT TO JONAN KAGOME-CHAN/SAN!?"
Nodding she scratched her cheek while laughing nervously, "Yeah and I graduated not too long ago as well." Leveling her eyes on them, she was all business. "If you two are really serious about making it into Jonan, you will have to make sure that you study everything and I mean everything." After a second her expression softened, "But you have to remember that you cannot burn yourself out…take a break, and then you can continue." Miaka held a surprised expression on her face, and she looked down at her book. 'Have I been studying a bit too hard…I have felt very tired now a few days now haven't I?' Running a hand through her bangs, Yui also contemplated the older girl's words.
"Ah!"
Looking up from her book, Kagome saw Miaka running after something. "Miaka-chan?" Placing her book down, she got up with Yui and followed the brown-haired girl. When they finally reached her, Kagome instantly felt that something was wrong. Not moving a muscle, Miaka stared at the door that was in front of her and almost seemed to be entranced. Instantly her eyes narrowed as she watched Yui walk up to her friend. Glancing at the door, she almost swayed as she felt the aura coming from the door. On the door was a sign, which peeked her interest.
Don't Enter
Yui raised an eyebrow, and placed her hand on the shorter girl's shoulder. "Miaka, cram school will be starting soon!" But it seemed that she didn't hear her, "What's this room here?" Pushing the door open, she walked in not even worried that someone would notice them. The blonde girl followed her friend, and Kagome followed in case something happened. Her azure blue eyes widened in surprise as, Kagome saw all the books that were in the room. And from what she could see, these books were very old…some of them could most likely be dated back to the Feudal Era!
Trailing one delicate finger down the spine of a book, the Miko couldn't help but feel excitement. Inside of this room, there was a chance that she could find a book that would have accurate descriptions of the past. 'And maybe I could find Miroku's journal…Sesshoumaru after all had said that it had been lost.' But before she could think any further, the ground shook and the three girls were shaken around violently. Falling to the floor as she was thrown off balance, she turned to look at Miaka and Yui who thankfully had found something to hold onto. After a few moments, the shaking stopped and a book fell to the ground right behind Miaka.
Looking around the room, they noticed all the rare books. "Wow, all these books look pretty rare…someone could make a killing selling these!" Kagome agreed, after if they had books dating back to the Feudal Era, fanatics of that time period and the others would give an arm and a leg for these. Miaka noticing the book that fell to the ground behind her bent down and picked it up. Opening it, she flipped through the pages and smiled widely at the blanks pages before closing it. "Hey Yui! Kagome-chan! Look at this!"
Walking over to her, Kagome looked over their shoulders to the words printed in the book.
"The Universe of the Four Gods?" While the two girls were confused, Kagome's eyes narrowed. "This book looks like a Japanese translation of a Chinese legend…by someone named Okuda Einosuke." Opening the book again to the beginning, they all read the words.
Herein contains the tale of a young lady and her quest to gather the seven constellations of Suzaku together. Kagome couldn't help but feel her interest peek, and missed the small comments made by the two girls. 'Suzaku one of the gods along with Seiryuu, Byakko, and Genbu otherwise known as the Four Saint Beasts…' And if you, the esteemed reader, should read to the story's end, the spell contained within this book shall bestow upon you the powers of the heroine, and grant you your wish. For indeed the moment the page is turned, the story will become reality. For a second the three girls sat in silence, and the miko's blue eyes were concentrated on the small book. She could vaguely detect an aura coming from the book, and it made her a little uneasy. There was just something that didn't feel right to her.
Suddenly a small cry of pain brought her out of her thoughts, and she saw that Yui kicked Miaka to the ground. The reason most likely being that she kept asking what a Suzaku was. Kagome almost slapped her forehead in exasperation, but decided that she couldn't really blame them. None of the schools really teach about the Saint Beasts, and other legends unless you are in a History class specifically for that. Besides young people just didn't seem to be interested in that kind of thing.
"So if you read this story then your wish comes true? SIGN ME UP!"
Yui shook her head, and stared blankly at the excited girl. "Yeah right, and I'm the Pope…you're actually buying this B.S.?" Laughing softly at the interactions of the two girls, she didn't notice until it was too late as Miaka turned the page. "Miaka-chan! Don't-" But her words were unheard as the room began to rumble once more, the two younger girls screeched while Kagome gritted her teeth. Seeing the books coming down from above them, the miko warrior got ready to put up a barrier and put her arms around the other two. Closing her their eyes, they waited for the rumbling to stop.
After a fem moments that felt like forever, the rumbling finally stopped. Feeling that the threat was over, Kagome released her barrier and sighed. 'Think it will be best that we get out of this room…' Thinking about that book, she decided that she would have to take it back to the shrine to investigate. "Yui…it looks like it's over." She heard a sigh of relief, but she still kept her eyes closed as she gathered back all the energy she used. "Good! I just hate earthquakes…"
Opening her eyes after absorbing all of her energy, Kagome noticed the silence of the girls. Looking around at their surroundings she could see why. Instead of being in the library, the three females were currently in the middle of a desert.
End of Book I, Chapter One; Part 1!
Ha! There I am finished with the first chapter of my brand new Fushigi Yuugi Xover! XD
I am sure that you are all wondering what I am going to do with the pairings, and for right now I am thinking of harem! Kagome gets certain people from the book, and Souta ends up with Miaka and Yui. So far, I have no plans of Miaka or Yui becoming the priestesses, because I have another role for them. Currently I am plotting on who should be the Priestess of Seiryuu, but I am not exactly sure. It may end up being an OC, since I can't think of anyone in her time since I am not bringing anyone from the past back to life. (So don't expect Naraku or some other evil sonova bitch showing up!) 8D Well I hope that you enjoyed the chapter, now onward to Book I, Chapter One; Part 2!
